Believe it or not, this dish is my 3.5 year old's favorite. She LOVES tilapia! Since it was just me an Cecily for dinner tonight, I decided to make it since its quick and easy. I am not sure where I originally got the recipe, but I've simplified it over time and it has become one of my "go to" dinners.I keep a frozen club pack of tilapia in the freezer at all times. They are individually wrapped so I can take out as many as I need. They defrost so fast which is also a plus.
Heat the oven to broil. Mix roughly 2 tbs of dried basil with 1/3 cup grated Parmesan. This is for 3-4 filets.
Once the filets are defrosted, I take them out of their package and pat dry with a paper towel. Then I put fresh cracked pepper on each side and place on a baking sheet that I sprayed with cooking spray.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 3 minutes. Take the baking sheet out, flip the filets and coat with the Parmesan mixture.
Broil with the oven door open until the cheese is brown and bubbly, usually about 3 more minutes or so.
I served it with a Baked Rice Pilaf recipe that I saw on Chef Mommy's blog. I steamed some asparagus, cut it up and mixed it into the rice when it was finished. SOO yummy! I will definitely be making this rice again!This meal was Cecily Approved!!
That looks absolutely delicious!
